The City Council has a policy of allocating 40 percent of the annual CDBG award (net of administrative costs) to community-based organizations (CBOs), with the remainder going to City projects. There is a 15 -percent Public Service Cap on the overall allocation for 2016-17. The distribution of funds will be as follows: City projects $294,701 CBO projects $196,467 Administration $122.791 (20% of the. 2016-17 Annual allocation) TOTAL $613,959 15% Service Cap $ 92,093 At the completion of an application period that ran from December 8, 2015 to February 10, 2016, the City received a total of 10 applications from community-based organizations (CBO's) requesting a total of $199,582. A detail of those CBO funding requests is attached as Exhibit A. Using a combination of CDBG and other funding sources, the City's key objectives for the 2016 funding period include the following: • Increase the supply of affordable housing; • Improve the condition of the City's housing stock; • Improve public facilities benefiting low-income areas and targeted low-income populations. • Remove blighting influences in low-income areas; 2016-17 CDBG Annual Action Plan May 4, 2016 Page 2 of 3 • Support community organizations to make improvements to their facilities; ■ Assist community-based organizations to provide fair housing and basic needs programs to target -income residents; • Provide supportive assistance to at -risk youth and their families that have been impacted by gang violence in the community; and • Expand financial opportunities for lower-income individuals and families. CDBG Funding Recommendations For planning and administrative activities, an allocation of $122,791 (20 percent of the CDBG allocation) is recommended to cover the costs of managing the CDBG Program and to provide fair housing counseling services provided by San Joaquin Fair Housing. Remaining funding recommendations are grouped into the following categories: • Affordable Housing, • City Service Programs, • CBO Capital Projects, and • CBO Service Programs. Funding recommendations for these categories are listed as follows, with additional detail on applicants and recommendations in Exhibit A (Summary/Ranking of Applications Received), Exhibit B (Internal Applications Received) and Exhibit C (City Manager's Recommendations).

The results of this outreach effort and community survey will likely be brought back to Council in September of 2016 for consideration in the establishment of the NRSA. Public Comment Period The draft Annual Action Plan document has been available for public review and comment since April 4, 2016. Aside from those offered at the Public Hearing on March 16, 2016, the only comments received to date have been from the Lodi Improvement Committee (LIC), which voiced support for the Annual Action Plan, especially the concept of establishing a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. Next Steps The approved Annual Action Plan document must be submitted to HUD no later than May 15, 2016 in order for the City to receive funding beginning July 1, 2016. Staff will begin developing program guidelines for both the Housing Rehab/Emergency Repair Program and the Down Payment Assistance Loan Program. Those guidelines will be brought back to Council for review and adoption as quickly as possible so that we can begin marketing the programs. FISCAL IMPACT: CDBG are federal funds.
